Toilet stops are a thing on uh on these runs not for the four-legged training part of this time the two-legged one sorry right Amy while we stopped what do we want to say thank you thank you we hit a very important Milestone on Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t anything to do with babies

Or marriage it was 1,000 subscribers woo it’s been about 18 months of work with a few months off here or there but yeah I think uh I think 100 videos in total over 18 months and we did it yay I generally don’t know what it means

Too much there are a few check boxes that say you get 55% of some ad Revenue I honestly have no idea how it works I’m definitely not doing it for the money um what it has done already you can see on the analytics side in the last few days is they’re definitely

Pushing my Channel at more people because new more new people are looking at videos um so clearly in the algorithm somewhere there’s a element of legitimacy that they you know promote your channel once you’ve hit that thousand and I have exceeded the watch hours that you also need uh we exceeded

That quite early on funnny enough so very good Amy we’re going to do high and low aren’t we just trying to find BR so what is the favorite video that you’ve made which video should people go back and watch uh I know you put me on the spot

Can we pause just say the London M video no cuz that’s not my favorite I liked IM man Wales that was the first ever video cuz yeah that was the first one and it wasn’t we didn’t actually plan to film it as such like Amy took some clips but

There wasn’t a deliberate plan like we’re going to start a channel we must do some filming so it’s quite Roar at times which is good and I liked Finland because it I lik the like music pass of Finland cuz we just we filmed a lot for

Racing for the first time like all our preparation even though both of us were racing and I thought that was good but the part that wasn’t good was the part where you sat in a hotel room in the basement and there was no light and it

Was very bad yeah the the clips of the racing both male and female races Pro and and age group is good but the debrief in the hell sinky dungeon is uh is to be desired um I think my VI favorite video probably cuz it’s probably my favorite race I did and it

Wasn’t a trifelon is the reading half marathon video um just cuz it was a huge PB for me it was like a break through race but also um again the race footage was quite good ab managed to get around and BR was very young so he’s quite cute in it and

He has his first papaccino’s the worst video I don’t know Amy would say some of the training Peak screenshot videos um where I waffle on um but I think it’s really important to provide a lot of context and detail sometimes um there’s far too many people that don’t explain why they’re doing

Something and I’m not perfect but they miss out a key thing um I found someone on social media this week who did their first ever brick run and it was two and a half hours off a 2-hour bike 9 months from their race but they missed out the part which was they

Basically missed the session wanted to combined the both and did it which somewhat legitimizes it but they portrayed it like this is first brick session this is what you should do and I just think it’s so dangerous um when people don’t always describe what they’re doing anyway a thousand

Yeah and the the best part is when we started this we were me go to cona last year and then we were done so now we’ve got to a th000 and now we’re going to cona and Texas and there’s lots of stuff that’s actually really fun to capture so woo woo B come

Come this way say goodbye cheers
